House of the Rising Sun on Tenor Recorder and Ukulele

As an adult who didn't learn to play a musical instrument as a child, lately I've been trying to teach myself how to read music and learn instruments from scratch.
Every so often I try to put a piece of music together to kind of chart my progress, I suppose! This time, I thought i'd have a stab at the folk classic 'House of the Rising Sun.'

Been a while since I last watched this video but was a joy to watch it again Dad.

And here I‘m playing 7 instruments and making music my whole life but I could never put together a video like this. This is art and absolutely crazy that you’re able to play like this after this short period. Love your channel. Greetings from Germany.

Comment #24! Analytics are 'really' movin now, 1:58 - heres a story 4 u, back in, 1982 my US Navy ship was doin a 'port visit' and my (friend) asked me to play this on my 12-string. Dig this, this was the only song I knew! Irony? No weigh, I pulled it off OK best as eye recall, she was happy, we were happy! As ever another great video, all the personal touches, jeez you work hard, knot two mention being a musikant also. Much respect.

You are ridiculously talented and an inspiration... I always look forward to your posts. My " Paul Simon songs for the recorder" book arrived today so that's the next few evenings sorted... 😂

[@joehowden7885]

One of my favourite song from my day,s of growing up I try to tinker on the piano but struggle to get very far I will now give it another bash after watching your version. Well done dad.👏.

Greetings from Hamburg. I am amazed at what you can do after this short time. Super cool video! Very inspirational.

[@Lukewebbharpist]

This is class! Fair play👏🏻

I have no idea why this was recommended to me but it soothed me after a day's work. Nicely done! +1 Sub

[@UkuleleSioni]

Wow again. Your progress is astounding. The playing, the arranging, and the video production (the concept, the dining). All stellar. You’re killin me. 👍❤️

[@Grosvdywywa]

Wow this is beautiful

[@peppercorn8451]

You are so creative, seriously!! I really enjoyed watching this + the listening to the instrumentals☺️

[@tacovanderwaal5252]

I particularly liked the sunflowers thread throughout. My gosh, it must have taken ages to put together. Well done ! But the end result is always so much fun. You can look at it and think "That was definitely worth the effort". It is lovely 🙂

[@standrewschurchshottery9157]

Amazing, you have inspired me to pick up the recorder and start learning,,

[@kimmyrawes8007]

Wow amazing video. my two fav instruments making a wonderful music together. well done

[@kapellmeister70]

I really enjoyed this version of "The House of rising sun". Eric Burdon would be proud of It. The intro with ukulele is touching, the tenor recorder has a sweet and velvety sound... It looks like a clarinet. The video is also nice. Thanks for your music. Congratulations from Italy. 🎶🎵👍

[@richardmorley9851]

Brilliant.

[@stefaniedecoster2772]

Very nice, not just the playing but also how you put the video together!

[@kelanth462]

This is really COOL! Love that song from when I was a kid. Great interpretation you did. You can also do the theme to Gilligan's Island to that music. Would probably change the tone of the video though...

[@Clarionetist]

Very nice. I couldn't play this in the same key on my alto because of the low E. But I enjoy playing it on my alto in the key of D minor, which uses the same fingerings as you.

[@Jim-iw1yd]

Cool . . . or not cool given that it's a song about the Sun, but you know what I mean. Goodness you've really mastered your cornucopia of instruments, nice job. As for the video, super dooper, so clever, creative and funny. I'm thinking of using Krita to make animations for my songs, it will be great in twelve years time 😏 Quite the learning curve. Great job, loved it, well done !

[@ddmm6103]

Great video! What size ukulele are you playing in the beginning?

[@marklammas2465]

Great playing, but I think your "New Orleans" down below, there, needs a bit of work! 😂
